I was prompted to create this after reading ‘The World According to Colour’ by James Fox. I was intrigued to see if I could find objects in my house that could be used to create a spectrum. I had to compromise a bit by only using six colours as the basis. However since Isaac Newton may have added indigo to the spectrum purely because he thought there ought to be seven colours, I feel excused.
I took photographs of each object individually against a black background, and ctreated a composite image using eighteen source images, so that there are three for each of the six colours in the spectrum
